Cuiabá, Brazil

Cuiabá, the capital of Mato Grosso State in the Center-West region of Brazil, is very hot and dry. It was founded at the beginning of the 18th century by explorers in search of gold. Another gold rush, this time in the 1980s, saw thousands of people migrate to Cuiabá to try to find gold. This is the gateway to Northern Pantanal with the best fishing in Brasil.
